Not sure if the word teacher is correct for this course. The Plus 3 program is a study abroad experience where the classroom is a real world experience of another culture. Thus, the instructors act more as guides, helping the student have a successful experience.

Faculty from the School of Business and the School of Engineering will travel with students, they have designed a number of academic activities for the trip, thus they will both guide the visit and provide an academic experience.

During any study abroad experience the faculty also have the role of chaperones. We are assuming all the students are adults and will act as such during the trip. The instructors are there to help, but we do not watch every step every student takes 24 hours a day. It is impossible to do this. Thus, it is assumed that the students have the level of maturity necessary to conduct themselves properly during this experience.
